Went into Iron Banner last night for 4 games by myself. I did so terribly:

Kills, Assists, K/D, points
Game 1 - 28, 4, 4.00, 5380
Game 2 - 22, 6, 3.67, 4665
Game 3 - 18, 3, 1.64, 3700 - dear lord what was I doing?
Game 4 - 34, 3, 3.09, 5875

It's not Halo where one AR is the same as the next, nor is it CoD where anything will kill in 3 bullets. You need to know your weapons and the situations they are good in. Don't put yourself in situations where you aren't at an advantage.
(see also: The Art of War)

In the game where I 'only' got a 1.64 K/D, I was trying to play too close up to guys with ARs, Titans and shottys. Backed off a little, switched to Red-dot sight and I started doing better.

Tip for Control: you don't need to have every control point. You don't even need the majority. If they can't kill you, they can't get points. If you can outslay them enough, you can still win even if they have most of the control points. Especially with bonus points and assists.

In the last game my total points/kill was way down, but I was killing so much it didn't matter.

Jigoku-4-lyf. Dunno what level they were but I was definitely 3-shotting fools with it. Using it to pop-shot attempted snipers - successfully - at a greater range than my ARs could do.

I'm curious how the Jigoku-4 fairs in the vanilla crucible without level benefits. Iron Banner matches are inherently flawed, you could dominate with a Hand Cannon if it happens to be the most powerful gun in the match.
